Let's get started

Meade Digital Enterprises Corp. ("The Fish Drop," "Fulton Fish Market," “Meade,” “we,” “us,” or “ours”) provides this Privacy Policy because we know you care about how your information is collected, used, shared and retained. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected when you access our website located at www.thefishdrop.com, including mobile access (the “Website”) or use the services that we make available via the Website from time to time (the “Services”). By visiting the Website or using the Services, you consent to our collection, use, disclosure and retention of your Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. Unless otherwise stated herein, all defined terms shall have the meaning assigned in our Terms of Use.

The Information We Collect.

Personal Information.

Personal Information means any information that may be used to identify a natural person. Generally, you may visit and browse the Website without revealing any of your Personal Information. When you register or use the Services, you may be required to provide Personal Information. If you choose to purchase products and services, you will be required to provide your credit card and other payment related information necessary to process your purchase. We may share your credit card and other payment related information with third party service providers (each, a “Provider”) as necessary to process your payment. If you register or visit the Website through Facebook Connect or another social media website, then we may receive certain Personal Information from those social media sites in connection with such activities. We may collect Personal Information when you respond to an ad, respond to a survey, or receive technical support assistance. If you choose to communicate with us via available electronic communication (e.g. email, online chat or instant messaging), we may retain a complete copy of the electronic communication together with your email address. We may also make chat rooms, blogs, message or bulletin boards, or news groups available to you through the Website. Please remember that any information disclosed in these forums is public and available for collection and use by third parties. You should exercise caution when disclosing Personal Information in these forums. Personal Information does not include information regarding corporate entities or information that is encoded or anonymized, or publicly available information that has not been combined with non-public Personal Information.

Other Information.

Other Information collected via the Website that does not identify you personally may include:

Geolocational Information. In order to provide certain of the Services while you are using our Website via a mobile device we may, with your consent, automatically collect geolocational information from your mobile device, wireless carrier or certain third party service providers (“Geolocational Information”). Your mobile device also permits you to turn off the location services. Please be sure to manage your mobile device and privacy preferences for the Services on a consistent basis. We may also collect, or use Providers to collect, information regarding your current location (e.g., by IP address, or by latitude/longitude) when you visit the Website or use the Services.

How We Use Your Information.

We may use your Personal Information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Any credit-card information that is provided shall be collected and transmitted in encrypted form directly by Meade’s third-party credit-card payment provider and shall be used only to bill you for the products and services you purchased. Meade does not save any of your credit-card information on its server(s) at any time. We may use (and permit third parties to use) your Personal Information to send surveys, contact you for advertising, marketing and other commercial purposes, and provide you with information regarding our products and services, and the products and services of third parties. We may link or combine Personal Information with other personally identifiable information (such as transaction history) and Other Information that is available from our records and other sources, and use this combined information for the foregoing purposes. You have the right to correct or modify your Personal Information by providing notice to us (see, “Accessing and Modifying Information”).

If we intend on using any of your Personal Information in any manner that is not consistent with this Privacy Policy, you will be informed of such anticipated use prior to or at the time at which the Personal Information is collected. You may choose not to submit your Personal Information at any time, but that decision may prevent you from accessing and/or using certain of the Services.

Cookies, Web Beacons and JavaScript Tags.

Meade and/or its Providers may use certain technologies, including the following:

Cookies are small packets of data that a website stores on your computer’s hard drive so that your computer will “remember” information about your visit. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to help us collect Other Information and to enhance your experience using the Website. If you do not want a cookie placed on your hard drive, you may be able to turn that feature off on your computer. Please consult your Internet browser’s documentation for information on how to do this and how to delete persistent cookies. However, if you decide not to accept cookies from us, the Website may not function properly and you may be precluded from using the Services. This Privacy Policy covers only Cookies used by us, and not any cookies used by third parties.

JavaScript tags trigger a sequence of events that includes viewing a first-party cookie (or setting that cookie if it does not already exist). We may use JavaScript tags to help us tailor and optimize our Website and provide you relevant Meade advertisements outside of our Website.

Web beacons, also known as “clear gif” technology, are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web site users. Unlike cookies, which can be stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We may use web beacons to help us manage Content on the Website by tracking what Content is effective.

Advertising.

We may, directly or indirectly through Providers, serve personalized advertisements for products and services that may be of interest to you when you visit the Website and third party websites. Meade and Providers may use Other Information collected during your visits to the Website and third party websites to select personalized advertisements, and combine and compare your information with other databases, perform, or have performed, cookie synchs, and otherwise use your information for commercial purposes. You may opt-out of the tailoring of advertising based on information we collect. To learn more about the use of this information, or to choose not to have this information used by our providers or third party advertising partners by opting out, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative by clicking http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp

Security.

Meade uses commercially reasonable measures to protect your transmissions to us including secured socket layer (“SSL”) technology for processing payment transactions with Providers. Please understand, however, that no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of the databases where your Personal Information is stored and processed, nor can we guarantee that the information that you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to and from us over the Internet including, without limitation, information included within emails. You acknowledge and agree that we have no liability regarding the unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, theft, loss, misuse or destruction of Personal Information, Other information or Content including, without limitation, any such information that has been provided to third parties or other users, or with regard to the failure of a third party service provider to abide by the agreement between us and such third party. You should not disclose your Password and ID to anyone and you should always remember to log off, especially if you are using a shared computer. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Password and ID, and for any use of your Password and ID, whether or not you have authorized such use.

Accessing and Correcting Personal Information.

You can access and correct your Personal Information by logging into your account and accessing the "My Account" section of the Website.

Information collected by these websites is governed by their privacy practices and is not subject to this Privacy Policy.
